Our members who joined APC caused our downfall in 2023 – PDP

The PDP further declared that it has received many
applications from people who are desirous of joining it in Abia, boasting that
the defection was a blessing in disguise.

“The Abia PDP truly appreciates the exit of these men
because after the 2023 general elections, the Abia PDP did a post-mortem on
itself and came to the inevitable conclusion that the Party needs to reinvent
itself for the future and that the only way for that to happen would be for the
party to shed weight not by expelling some people but for those responsible for
its brief downturn to exit by themselves.

“That is exactly what has happened and the Abia PDP truly
appreciates their exit after they recognised that they were no longer useful to
the party in whatsoever form,” it stated.

Recall that former Chief of Staff to ex-governor Okezie
Ikpeazu, Anthony Agbazuere, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy,
Eze Chikanmayo and many other top members of the PDP, on Monday, joined the APC
in a move that shook the Abia political space.
